Abstract
The present study examined the associations and age-related developmentof motivational climate, achievement goals, enjoyment, technical skills, and bodymass index (BMI) in young floorball players. The sample comprised 283 Finnishcompetitive male floorball players with a mean age of 11.49 ± .27 years in thebeginning of the data collection. Players completed floorball-specific technical skilltests and questionnaires across two time points, twelve months apart. The path modelshowed that perceptions of task-involving climate positively associated with masteryapproach,performance-approach, and enjoyment, whereas perceptions of egoinvolvingclimate related with mastery- and performance-approach and mastery- andperformance-avoidance. The results indicated that players with higher BMI hadhigher mastery-avoidance and slower dribbling skill scores. However, the findingssupported previous findings, as a player can have high mastery-approach and highperformance-approach or high performance-avoidance at the same time. Finally,mastery- and performance-approach, performance-avoidance, dribbling skills, andpassing test scores increased over time. In contrast, perceptions of task- and egoinvolvingclimate, mastery-avoidance, enjoyment, and BMI remained stable. Thefindings indicated that task-involving coaching methods could enhance approachgoals and enjoyment in young floorball players. All young floorball players,especially players with higher BMI could benefit, if they were encouraged to spendmore time with a wide range of fundamental skill practices on their leisure time, notonly during the organized sessions. This could increase their floorball-specific skills,and in turn, decline the negative perceptions of mastery-avoidance.
